World Oral Health Day 2017: Turning the frown upside down!https://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/2017/03/27/world-oral-health-day-2017/
https://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/2017/03/27/world-oral-health-day-2017/#respondMon, 27 Mar 2017 17:16:00 +0000http://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/?p=1572]]>James Brown, the legendary singer once said, if a man has teeth and hair, he has it all. And to a certain extent, I agree. While baldness (voluntary in particular) is deemed acceptable, being toothless is just unforgivable. That is because it is the duty of every man, woman and child to maintain proper oral care hygiene.

Unfortunately in Pakistan, that is rarely the case. Chewing tobacco, eating paan, having chai, are some of the things many Pakistanis live for. And these substances all leave a lasting impression of their love on their teeth. The fact that brushing twice a day or visiting a dentist regularly is an alien concept to them doesn’t help either.

So on this World Oral Healthcare day, Shield, the leading oral healthcare brand in Pakistan took matters in its hand. The #ShieldYourSmileCampaign was a countrywide campaign held on March 20th to spread awareness about the importance of oral healthcare. Free dental checkups were performed at numerous hospitals and dental clinics across the country and people were given guidance on how to take better care of their teeth and gums.

My guilty confession is that, I consume three to four cups of black coffee almost daily. I also tend to skip out visits to my dentist. The closest I have been to a dentist in a while was when my dentist cousin came over the other day for dinner. And the importance of oral healthcare was far from the topic of discussion. You see even she charges for advice now.

Anyway, World Oral Healthcare Day got me thinking. I remember reading that teeth related problems are usually related to some serious illness and diseases. A small example is mouth cancer. The symptoms include icky sores near your gums, loose teeth that eventually drop and of course bleeding. This however is worst case scenario.

A milder yet equally disturbing outcome of poor oral hygiene is halitosis. See I could have just said bad breath, but typing in the scientific term without even googling it makes me feel better about myself. Back to bad breath. The first sign of poor oral hygiene, yet the most deadly, for other people that is. Forget to brush your teeth today? Go say hello to your mom, you’ll know what I am talking about.

Shield is doing great work, but it cannot be successful unless everyone, including you and me do out share too. Shield is out to educate us. It is our job to take oral healthcare seriously and implement the steps in our daily routine!

https://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/2017/03/14/paramount-fine-foods-authentic-lebanese-food-in-karachi/#respondTue, 14 Mar 2017 17:48:16 +0000http://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/?p=1538]]>The food business in Karachi is thriving. There’s a pizza parlor and burger cafe at every corner, each boasting the tastiest, crispiest and being the best in the city. But to be very honest, my palate is now bored. While names may change, the taste more or less remains the same. Having similar kinds of food again and again, my tastebuds lost all excitement. Then I received some hope. A chance to escape from the usual and taste authentic Lebanese food at Paramount Fine Foods!

Hardly surprising I jumped at the opportunity. Paramount Fine Foods Pk recently opened its doors in Karachi, and just at the right time. Located on main Khayaban e Shamsheer, the quaint little place offers a whole different world. The minute you enter, you are transported into the heart of Lebanon.

From the decor, to the Arabic music in the background, you feel like you are no longer in Karachi.

THE FOOD AT PARAMOUNT FINE FOODS

Now let’s get down to business the food. The meal started off with a massive serving of Salad and Hummus. The salad was incredibly fresh and gets the highest marks a salad can get. The Hummus was just the right texture. I tried my best not to fill up on these two as plenty more awaited. Priced at Rs. 345/- the Hummus is one of the best I have had in the city so far.

Then came the Manakeesh. I’ll be very honest here. I have never had anything quite like it before. Confused between which to order, I got the Za’atar and Beef Cheese Manakeesh. No meal is complete without some fattening melted cheese on top. And the Beef Cheese Manakeesh hit just the right spot. The Za’atar Manakeesh was a crispy bed of pita bread with toasted herbs and thyme on top. I was surprised at how good it tasted. May I say I had the ‘thyme’ of my life. Ok yeah too much maybe.

For mains I had a hard time deciding what to order. So the host recommended the Mixed Combo Platter which consisted a little bit of everything on the menu. For a group of three people, this was the perfect thing. A layer of pita bread, laden with Kafka, Shish Tawouk and BBQ Beef skewers, Falafel, Chicken and Beef Shawarma and Tahini sauces. My favorite thing on the platter was the crispy brown Falafel. Word of advice, only order this platter if you are in the company of three or more people. You alone cannot finish this no matter how big a foodie you are.

To drink I got the Paramount Special (Rs. 395). That was a mistake. Only because this drink is a full meal on its own! With so much to eat alongside, I could not finish this fine combination of strawberry and mango juice, topped with pineapple, kiwi, almonds, pistachios, cream and honey. As delicious as it was, the ashta cream made it a little bit difficult to drink.

My meal ended on a highly sweet note. I chose a selection of the finest Bakhlavas. Truth be told, I am a huge fan of Bakhlavas. Once a year on Eid we receive a great assortment from some relatives. Apart from those, I cannot find any good ones here. These were simply delightful. Carrying the right amount of sweetness, the bite sized Bakhlavas made the entire meal worthwhile!

Paramount Fine Foods is highly recommended if you want a break from the usual.

Everyone is busy with preps, finishing up with shopping, getting done with left over homework and projects and getting ready with all the cool school gear to meet friends.

When it comes to preparations, it is really important to stay organized, maintain a list and don’t go overboard with shopping. Shopping for school supplies can be a major hassle, with too many options at times and very less time. It’s time, get organized, make the most of this!

Here’s how you can do it:

Make a list: Map it all out. Make a list of what you want, what you need, what you already have and what’s not so important.

Buy things in bulk: Get your stuff in large quantities so it all lasts you a year or at least a semester. Spare yourself several trips to the stationery stores during the year and save yourself from spending too much.

Map out the store locations, make an itinerary: Uniforms from one place, stationery from one and shoes from one. Or you can get everything online with com now!

Time yourself!

Do all this and you’ve got a great chance at acing the school supplies shopping spree! Or just order online with Yayvo.com!

The TCS brand has managed to stay a top of mind and sight on digital with their campaigns and offerings.

This year, capitalizing on the Back-to-School time, Yayvo has come up with the first ever Education E-Store, providing the utmost ease for parents and students to shop from the comfort of their homes as they get ready for yet another year of school.

The new campaign has become the talk of the town and has been able to turn eyeballs towards the brand’s approach to leverage ecommerce in Pakistan.

This surely has opened up new avenues for experimentation and conversations in terms of growth of ecommerce in Pakistan and digital media marketing.

After fashion, groceries and technology, Yayvo brings Education to the arena of online shopping. Seems like great things are in pipeline and the brand isn’t shying away from experimenting!

https://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/2016/07/27/jobs-for-women-in-pakistan-unilever-career-by-choice/#commentsWed, 27 Jul 2016 07:11:03 +0000http://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/?p=1517]]>Women in Pakistan, regardless of what field they choose to study, often are forced to settle down and leave their careers one they attain what elders call ‘suitable age’ for marriage. Old aunties are often on the lookout for well educated young girls to marry them to their sons – only to then sit at home and not utilize any of the skills and knowledge the girls spent years learning.

Societal pressure makes many women hesitant to pursue the career of their dreams. At times an opportunity leads them away from home, maybe to a distant land. Just the idea of living alone and working is enough to earn a no from their family members.

If you have succumbed to a similar fate, there’s hope for you yet. Unilever Pakistan has taken an initiative to help capable women find work that allows them to work at their convenience. According to Pakistan Bureau of Statistics 3 out of every 5 women bow down due to familial pressures and give up their careers in favor of domestic life.

Unilever’s Career by Choice (CBC) Program aims to be a pathway that allows all such women to reenter the professional world. CBC is a platform which through which they can be employed for various different projects ranging from 6 months to a year, all on very flexible terms.

All the women who decide to participate in this program get the opportunity to update their skill-set, grow their business network, and move to a more permanent position within Unilever if they wish.

Eligibility for Participation

All participants must have at least a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification.

A 2 year experience in their respective field. A career break ranging from 1 to 8 years.

Bachelor’s or equivalent qualification

Project will revolve around 5 key areas

Brands

Consumer Development

Finance

HR

Supply Chain

The program allows a great deal of flexibility with work hours and paid leaves.

So a good fortnight has passed since Ramadan began. And while I promised myself, this year, I would stay away from food that makes me happy, and stick to a diet, I failed (so far anyway).

Ever since Ramadan began, I found myself stuffing myself with all kinds of delicious food I could find. And while it is slightly difficult for me to list down everything I have had (Thank God) here are the top 5!

Biryani

Ok, I can cook yes, but managing a biryani on my own …. not really no. This thing of beauty was prepared all the way by my mum and therefore was safe to consume. Her secret? The Biryani masala by National Foods.

2. Pita Bread Pizza

So the next thing on this list, I made myself, and yes, I survived. In the mood to have something delicious yet effortless, I searched online and came across this easy to make paratha pizza on madeeasy.com. Not being a fan of parathas, I swapped them for a Pita Bread, and lo and behold.

3. Watermelon and Peach Sorbet

So after the success of my Pita Bread Pizza, I wasn’t letting anything stop me from taking another bold step and this time with my own recipe attempt to make a sorbet! Yep, I dared. Using the Peach flavored Fruitily and fresh watermelon, I made this highly refreshing sorbet.

4. Lasagna

My love for Lasagna cannot be explained. It is perhaps the one thing I know I can make well. I have had other people eat it and say so too. My own recipe takes a lot of time and dedication on my part, and having none in Ramadan, I went for the easier version found on Madeeasy.com and made this. The picture isn’t too great, but trust me it was.

5. Peri Bites

My love for green chilies is very new. But since it has developed, I enjoy having the sharpness in my otherwise bland food. I am a fan of the peri bites and chili poppers many fast food cafes serve, and so when mum made these scrumptious things at home, I went insane. Yes, she surfs the internet too! Find the recipe here: Madeeasy.com

It is too hot, the days are too long, were just some of the issue people had. However, no one is complaining now. Mainly because of the awesome deals and discounts almost every restaurant and cafe is offering. As always, here is a list in no particular order of the deals currently available,

As always, here is a list in no particular order of the deals currently available, along with a short review of the cafes offering them. You are welcome to try them out on their own and leave a review if you like!

I will keep updating the list throughout this month. If you know of a cafe I’ve missed, do let me know. Happy Ramadan.

BBQ Tonight

BBQ Tonight has always been kind to me. Whenever I visited with family (trust me it has been a lot) the food has been good giving me no reason to complain. Be sure to give this deal a try though.

Tavern Grill

Since I was there for lunch just a day before Ramadan started, I know for sure the food is good. The deal looks good too.

Lals

I had the good fortune of trying out their Iftaar last year. And while this year’s offering doesn’t look much different from what I had, I just might stop by to have some once more. Plus they are the only ones I know who have chocolate covered dates

Bella Vita

Anyone who has had the fortune of trying out the cookie at Bella Vita can no longer say no to a chance of visiting the place. Their Ramadan deal this year looks good, even though it doesn’t include the above mentioned cookie.

Ginsoy

No matter what time or day of the week you visit Ginsoy, it is always full. And so the only time I tried out their food was when we ordered it at home. It arrived a little cold and I didn’t enjoy it much. Maybe I’ll get lucky and actually get a place to sit there for iftaar ( Yeah, with 50% off I know that’s not happening).

Chatterbox Pie in the Sky

It has been a while since I ate at Chatterbox. The food then was good. I am not sure how it is now. If you happen to be a fan, do visit. Their Iftaar deal starts from Rs. 950/-

Kaybees

If Kaybees were to dig deep into its call log, the most call received number will be mine. There was a time we loved its fast food, but lately it has been disappointing us. That said, its desi food it still our favorite. We frequently order brain masala and chicken handi. Therefore, Kaybees is on definitely on the list.

Kababjees

Sadly this is a place I have not yet tried. So I cannot tell you how their food is. You must dare to visit at your own risk.

Big Thick Burgerz

They are big, they are thick and they are Burgerz for some reason. Visit them in Ramadan and get a 50% discount.

Broadway Pizza

I kinda love Broadway Pizza. I have ordered a few times and they have never disappointed me yet. I just might order from them for iftaar.

Pizza Hut

I would be extremely surprised if you told me you still go to Pizza Hut. Their’s is the saddest story in the history of sad stories. Go ahead if you want, I for sure won’t be, even for the free cornetto -_-.

Subway

There was a time I kinda lived off Subway. Being the only deliverable option to my workplace that wasn’t greasy burgers and pizzas, I have had my fair share of subs. There I am skipping their deal this year.

KFC

Yes, yes. No list can be complete with good old KFC. If this is the reason you are here, well the wait is over.

McDonald’s

Following behind KFC, McDonald’s is just as much loved as the former. I have no idea why. Here is their Ramadan offer.

Gloria Jean’s

Still a fan of Gloria’s? Good for you. Here is their Ramadan deal. I for one won’t be going.

NewYork Coffee

New York Coffee has its days. It sometimes serves you really good food. Their new cafe in Sindhi Muslim is a pleasant place to be. Plus I love their mushroom and spinach pizzas and chicken strips! I just might stop by.

Cafe Zouk

While their food quality dwindles, their customer service is always top notch. Cafe Zouk is offering:

Rosati Bistro

I have heard conflicting reviews about this place. So far I haven’t tried it out. Their Iftaar deals look promising. If someone visits, do let me know.

Rakaposhi

A visit to this restaurant is long overdue. It is on my must visit list this year.

Pranzo

If you have come to my blog truly looking for my review and not just the deals, I love you, and please skip this one. My first and last visit hopefully was not pleasant at all.

Cafe Aylanto

I for one cannot make out a word of their Ramadan offer. That said, their food is good, so if you have a magnifying glass and can understand what they are serving, go ahead and visit.

Koffie Chalet

With the new branch now open at Sindhi Muslim, Koffie Chalet is now on my to visit list.

Nando’s

Now celebrating their 15 years in Pakistan, Nando’s has kept us entertained with their witty taglines. Their food however has its moments.

Johnny Rockets

Dear o’ dear. Erm, fan of their food? Go ahead and visit. But be sure to take some air freshener along. Oh and you still have to buy one to get the other free.

TGI Fridays

Never been here even though it’s always a Friday there. If you have, do leave a review.

Bombay Chowpatty

My shopping trips to Dolmen are always incomplete without having a plate of dahi puri from Bombay Chowpatty. If you are out Eid Shopping and thinking what to have for iftaar, this should be tried out for sure!

Pizza Max

The deal for Pizza Max. If you have the strength to stay up till 2am you can enjoy a sehri deal too!

Del Frio

I have had good days and bad days at Del Frio. The good being the nutella brownie I can’t forget and the bad being the strong hit of undissolved chicken cube in the spinach soup. That said, their Ramadan deal doesn’t seem too tempting this year.

Steak Escape

Depending on your mood, Steak Escape offers you a variety of deals that range from burgers to steaks to burritos. The price isn’t too much either. A good deal for Ramadan.

Dunkin Donuts

While their coffees are awful, I love the Omwich and Bologna sandwich at Dunkin Donuts. Yes, they are very heavy. Yes, I eat them still. On a day when I am not sure what to eat, I’ll order from Dunkin!

NewYork Pizza

Had pizza from NewYork Pizza twice, didn’t like it either time. Needless to say, this deal I am skipping.

The latest in its long list of adventures is Copter Hunting. Yes, that’s exactly what it sounds like. The hunting of copters! Mountain Dew is bringing a new opportunity for all the daredevils to satisfy their constant craving of adventure.

Since bike riding in Pakistan is already a very daring (read annoying) thing to do, Mountain Dew decided to take it up a notch. Ever since the teaser for the sport was released, crowds have shown massive interest in participating, with girls going as far as trying to learn how to ride a bike, just to be a part of this.

Not convinced? Watch the trailer below and see for yourself!

https://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/2016/02/28/slice-slice-baby-broadway-pizza-review/#commentsSun, 28 Feb 2016 20:09:27 +0000http://sidrarizvisays.wordpress.com/?p=1311]]>If you want to know what true love feels like, order a pizza. Even if it’s not the best pizza in the world, the cheesy goodness will still give you a warm and fuzzy feeling.

True love!

For a city famous for hating everything happening within it, Karachi sure loves it food. Every corner you turn you find four different pizza parlours, all offering ‘the largest’ or ‘the tastiest’ ‘the one for health conscious (yes!)’ and more. The streets are lined with massive billboards, tempting you with pictures of pizzas all stolen from the internet.

So what’s the deal with this cheesy piece of bread that makes us Karachiites so insane? To answer this question, I valiantly sacrificed myself as a test subject and volunteered to find the best pizzas in the city. Yes, only for you all, I will order and eat all the pizzas I can find in Karachi and give you the final verdict.

Now I have already tried out the pizzas from various top outlets in Karachi and I have a few favourites. But in the spirit of having something different, I decided to order from the very famous (yet unexplored by me) Broadway Pizza.

The deals they were offering looked very enticing and being a sucker for some good pizza, convinced my mum to drop the idea of cooking something sad and ordered ‘The Full Deal’. The deal boasted a 20inch pizza of my choice, with an appetizer, a side, a 1.5 litre drink and 6 sauces.

Mentally prepared to gain 10 kg after this meal, I eagerly waited for my food to come. Promptly at 2pm, the time the guy on the phone told me it would arrive, the delivery guy showed up at my door. The pizza box was so huge, it wouldn’t fit in through the door, so I had to go find the key to open the extension (yep that was fun). Three more trips in and out of the house with the food and I finally said goodbye to the delivery man (good guy.)

There are around 7 people in my house. And nobody was worried about not getting a piece (I don’t like to share). The box opened up to a very delightful looking heart shaped pizza! YES THE PIZZA LOVES ME TOO! My life is complete! Ok! So the love was short-lived because well I ate it. . February being considered the month of love (gag) I think this is the best a pizza parlour could do to keep up with the theme.

The pizza I ordered was Gypsy Euro, for appetizers, I got the Garlic Mayo Chicken wings, the side was Potato skins. Confused about the sauces, the guy taking my order said he would give me one of each. So I had 3 Garlic Mayo Ranch (everybody loved them), and 1 each of Jalapeno Ranch (a bit spicy), BBQ Ranch (liked the smokey flavour) and Spicy Buffalo (like the name said, too spicy).

The pizza was perfection. Thin crust just as I asked, it was crunchy and gooey at the same time. While I am a pepperoni pizza person, I had to keep in mind the others so Gypsy Euro with its topping of chicken sausages, smoked chicken and mushrooms among other things seemed the safest bet. And it delighted everyone. My dad who isn’t a fan of pizzas (yes, the horror!) too couldn’t resist. The huge slices meant nobody really had room for a second piece, even if they wanted to. I don’t really like chicken wings, but my mum said she really liked them. The potato skins looked a little sad, but taste-wise they didn’t disappoint.

All in all, the little lunch I planned for the family went really well. Broadway Pizza has passed my test. Now looking for the next victim!

Planning to buy a new phone? Are there any specifications you look forward to when making a decision? If you are anything like me, (hopefully not) you would probably spend months (1.5 year to be precise) when choosing a new phone. I have major commitment issues you see, and buying a phone for me is a biggie. When I buy a phone, I usually use it until it begs me to stop. So I have a very hard time selecting a phone I deem perfect, that is unless it comes in a pretty color such as red or orange, (I respect myself too much to go for pink).

Skimmed through the first paragraph? Good choice. Welcome. Let’s talk about the real reason you are here. Lenovo Vibe P1m. The first new thing I got to try out for the year 2016. The phone promises to amaze all tech junkies with its flashy innovative features. Those who appreciate a ‘MediaTek MT6735P 1.0GHz 64-bit Quad-Core processor’ and a ‘5.0” HD (1280×720) IPS display’ should certainly check out the new Lenovo Vibe P1m as it has both of these emm things. (Convincing aren’t I?)

As for me, my cellphone requirements revolve around taking pictures, tweeting and sometimes calling other bloggers to ask if they are attending a particular event, and if so can they pick me. Hence a phone must foremost have a very good camera. The pictures I take are mostly of food (I sadly do not have a face made for taking selfies). I also prefer a device that doesn’t take too long to load the gazillion tweets I missed, because I didn’t check my phone in the past 20 minutes and Twitter melted down over whatever high horse it is on at present. Calling, for me is the least of my worries, but I assume you people think voice clarity and what not is important too.

For me Lenovo Vibe P1m checked off all the boxes. It has a great camera (8MP auto-focus rear camera w/ LED flash and 5MP fixed-focus selfie camera. I still don’t take many selfies though). It comes with a ton of space (2GB RAM + 16GB internal storage and 32GB microSD expandable storage) allowing me to download whatever stupid game I am into at the mo, (piano tiles and spider solitare). Oh and there is a plus point. It comes equipped with a massive battery, an innovative rapid charging function and a physical switch for instant power boost (ask me to explain later).

If you would rather check out a boring site listing all features and specifications than reading this awesome user review, I pity you (BOO!) But fine, I list down some so you can justify visiting my blog.

The cool new features include:

MediaTek MT6735P 1.0GHz 64-bit Quad-Core processor

0” HD (1280×720) IPS display

4000mAh battery w/ quick charge and power saving functions

OTG charging support

Splash-proof nano coating by P2i

8MP auto-focus rear camera w/ LED flash

5MP fixed-focus selfie camera

2GB RAM + 16GB internal storage

Up to 32GB microSD expandable storage

LTE (4G) 150Mbps (DL) / 50Mbps (UL) data speeds

Dual Micro SIM

Android 5.1, Lollipop with VIBE UI

The phone priced at Rs. 17,900/- comes in two colors Onyx Black and Pearl White (sadly not a fancy name for red or orange).
